You can give up your PR since you are feeling foolish and stressed. And give the slot to somebody else dying to be a PR hereLukus95 wrote:My wife and I recently had our PR application approved (in principle). My wife is the main applicant and upon reading the approval letter I realised only the main applicant is exempt from NS and I may be liable for full time national service. I had assumed first generation PR's didn't need to serve NS. Obviously feeling rather foolish at overlooking such a thing now.
I am almost 32 and I'm currently on an EP and working here in Singapore. I'm completely stressed about the fact that I may be liable for full time service. Full time NS at this point in my life would obviously be a rather major disruption personally and professionally. Wondering if anyone has gone through this process and how it turned out? Or if anyone has any idea what criteria is applied to determine if I would need to serve full time NS?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Your information sharing is pretty useful, by the way ..
Yep. He ran in a rather rough crowd here as well.PNGMK wrote:No he wouldn't care about medishield. He most likely left his funds in CPF as they were somewhat remote and unknown to his business partners etc back in the states... he ran in a rough crowd.
